Please reccomend Motherboard

[Vitrolic]

Hi there,

Trying to get a new motherboard for my

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor

http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2468

I'm using DDR2 Ram at the moment so it has to be an AM2/AM2+ board. My last one blew because the TDP wattage or whatever its called was under 100W and this CPU is 125 Watts.

Was thinking of getting this one from Prophecy:

But they don't allow payment with credit card. Wanted to ask whether someone could please recommend a decent board (something under 1k) from a local store with which I could pay with credit card?

Thanks

I found this:

They allow credit cards but I don't know anything about Little Venice Trading. Also, it seems as if AM2 boards are very difficult to find. Take2 lists only one board and it's out of stock.

Nivo has a Gigabyte one

thanks guys, nivo said check for availability (which I have done).

Can anyone vouch for little venice trading?

Quick question here, might be stating the obvious...but why're you looking for an AM2/AM2+ board when the processor clearly states it's an AM3 socket?

I only have DDR2 RAM
